The first complex life forms, ediacaran, evolve on Earth. They are not long for the world. Millions of years later, in Detroit, Paco Ramone, the super-hero known as "Vibe", break dances in the street. Among the crowd of admirers are fashion model, Mari McCabe, and Zatanna, the magician. Crowbar, leader of the Skulls, violently interrupts Ramone's dance. The Skulls are preparing an offensive against their rivals, El Lobos. As Ramone was a former member of El Lobos, Crowbar demands to know where Ramone stands now. Mother Windom, an elderly shopkeeper, dresses down both Crowbar and Ramone.
Two of the Skulls threaten Windom with knives. McCabe, as the Vixen, and Zatanna, intervene. When one of the Skulls draws a gun, Ramone uses his vibratory powers to shatter the weapon, and subdue the gunman. Ramone is furious with the Vixen, and Zatanna, with interfering in a personal matter. Windom takes the Vixen, and Zatanna, aside to explain the situation. Dale Gunn tests the upper limits of Steel's strength. Aquaman pushes Steel too far, jeopardizing the young hero's life.

Aquaman and Gunn butt heads. The Elongated Man, and his wife, Sue Dibny, repaint the Justice League of America's new headquarters. Gunn questions Steel, regarding his desire to be a part of the new Justice League of America. The Vixen, and Zatanna, bring Windom to the Justice League of America, to tell her tale.

The Justice League of America ends the conflict between the Skulls and El Lobos. The mysterious Gypsy renders Crowbar unconscious.
